Jason Cordingley's "Princes Street Gardens Small" presents an expressive interpretation of one of Edinburgh's most beloved public spaces through bold, impasto brushwork. This oil on canvas (56 x 85 cm framed) captures the iconic vista with dynamic energy, featuring the gardens' lush greenery in vibrant yellows and ochres beneath a dramatic, tumultuous sky of deep blues and whites. The Scott Monument rises prominently on the left, while the distinctive silhouette of Edinburgh's Old Town creates a russet-hued backdrop against the turbulent heavens. Cordingley's technique eschews photographic precision in favour of emotional impact, with thick, textural paint application conveying the atmospheric quality of this quintessential Scottish landscape.
Urban Oasis: Edinburgh's Heart
The painting brilliantly captures the juxtaposition that makes Princes Street Gardens so captivating—a verdant sanctuary nestled between the architectural grandeur of historic Edinburgh. When displayed, this work transforms a room with its striking colour contrast and emotional resonance, inviting viewers to experience the distinctive character of Edinburgh's urban landscape. The relatively generous dimensions allow the painting to command attention without overwhelming a space, creating a focal point that draws the eye and sparks conversation about Scotland's capital city and its unique blend of natural beauty and architectural heritage.
